make filteredSuggestions settable by user about react-tags HOT 3 CLOSED

I discovered this is because of filteredSuggestions https://github.com/prakhar1989/react-tags/blob/master/lib/reactTags.js#L81-L85 and maybe other functions which call this.

This behavior makes sense sometimes, but in all cases its not ideal. For example in my case the filtering is done via an API call so my suggestions list is ready to go - the extra filtering step produces unexpected results.

Is is possible to make this an option so the user can provide their own filter function? What are some other good solutions?

Would be great if the user could override filteredSuggestions to supply a custom matching function. Initially I thought i was customizable but I was mistaken.

Sounds like a good idea. I feel that making the filter function, customizable would be useful, but I'm not sure how the API should look like. My understanding is that most users would not want to customize that function and hence there should be a reasonable way of making the default available.

I'll see how others are doing it and in the meantime if you have any ideas, feel free to share.
